What is Fruity Friday?

Fruity Friday takes place during WCRF UK's annual Cancer Prevention Week, which this year is held between Monday 13 and Sunday 19 May 2013. Cancer Prevention Week aims to promote healthy lifestyle choices, including healthy eating, physical activity and maintaining a healthy weight, that can help prevent about a third of the most common cancers.

So, get involved in Fruity Friday, have fun, get healthy and help WCRF UK continue its vital cancer prevention research and education work.
